Despite the introduction of high yielding varieties and improved cultural practices, the per unit area production of potato is low due to different biotic and abiotic stresses including viruses which cause heavy losses to the crop and prove a limiting factor in its successful cultivation for which seeds serve as a main source and vectors of virus transmission. To meet the requirement of the food as well as to supply the farmers with good quality planting material of potato, the only option left is the production of quality planting material through biotechnological intervention i.e., micropropagation. But the high cost and inorganic nature of MS Ready media becomes a major constraint Organic Potato Cultivation. And nothing will be much better than converting the aquatic weed wastes of DAL LAKE of Kashmir into a useful a novel media which will support the production of organic breeders planting material of potato.
